History
In 1949, with World War II over and the economy returning to peacetime status, Joyce Hornady started a new business. According to the company's history, bankers were skeptical of a bullet-making business for reloaders, while a sporting goods company would have been more understandable to them. Hornady believed there were thousands of shooters who wanted accurate, deadly, dependable bullets they could afford to reload, and "Accurate, deadly, dependable" became the new company's first advertising slogan. The company states that its philosophy, "Ten bullets through one hole," brought Hornady from a two-man operation in 1949 to a world-leading innovator of bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacturing.
